History of the Kirk of Holly Springs

In the spring of 2012, several families from southwestern Wake County began to meet and discuss the idea of forming a Presbyterian worshipping community in the Holly Springs/Apex area. The New Hope Presbytery had done a study several years before that identified areas of the Presbytery that would be the best for new church development. The Holly Springs/Apex area was identified as an area that was underserved by the PC (USA). To learn more about how the early efforts of these families led to the establishment of the Kirk of Holly Springs, a satellite of the Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian Church in Cary, click here to get a detailed history.

FAQ’s

What is the Kirk of Holly Springs Presbyterian?

The Kirk of Holly Springs Presbyterian (USA) is a satellite congregation of the Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian (USA). The KOHS is not a separate church, but an extension of the KOK. We are all members of the KOK and are organized as a separate Ministry Team focused on extending our worshipping body in the Holly Springs area where we can interact and serve in the South West Wake Community and beyond. Our activity as a Ministry Team is governed under the same rules as any other Ministry Team at the KOK which means we work with the Session for appropriate approvals. Our congregations will be able to use each other’s resources, gifts and talents. The KOHS and the KOK will be interwoven communities.

What does it mean to be a Satellite?

As we are all part of the KOK, our vision is to align with the KOK in areas that fit the needs of the Holly Springs congregation. We envision a similar worship experience and atmosphere at our Holly Springs location, but over time this may change depending on the needs of the congregation and community. As there is no PCUSA presence in Holly Springs, we believe that we can fill a needed gap in the community. We are looking forward to taking the KOK’s Vision of A Community of Faith, A Welcoming Home to All, Rooted in Christ’s Teachings, Reaching In and Reaching Out to the Holly Springs area.
